Labour mercilessly mocked as the party ‘sinks further into the abyss’

Writer and Broadcaster Esther Krakue explains how UK Labour is completely misreading voter anger as the party spirals further into political turmoil following Keir Starmer’s downfall. “At this point, it looks like anything Labour is going to do is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “The Labour Party seems to think Reform is gaining in huge numbers across the country, so that’s clearly a signal that the country wants to move more left. I don’t understand how you draw those conclusions. “It just feels like we’re just sinking further into the abyss at this point.”

YouGov: Labour Down to 18 Points on Day of Starmer’s Resignation

The two deep failures of modern liberalism | Fareed’s Take

In Britain, the man widely expected to replace the stately Keir Starmer as prime minister is Andy Burnham, who touts “business-friendly socialism” as his credo. In New York, Democratic primary elections produced striking victories for democratic socialists, suggesting that the insurgent left has found a way to turn protest into power. Fareed Zakaria argues that liberalism is losing energy, confidence and connection to the people it claims to represent and it needs to regain that radical spirit to remain a relevant political force. Also, writer David Brooks talks with Fareed on how America has gotten so divided and whether it can be brought back from the brink. 0:00 Socialist gains in recent elections 3:05 Fareed: Why liberals should love markets 6:20 How America got so divided 7:59 Can America come back from the brink?

We all knew the red-baiting would be bad after several of candidates endorsed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their primaries this week, but Fox's Jesse Watters decided to take it to a whole new level on this Wednesday's The Five.

PERINO: Jesse, there's feels like there's this momentum behind this DSA guys and Zohran Mamdani barely won his election, but now he's leading the party. WATTERS: Well, hips is cooked. So is Schumer. They have no clout. They got rocked on their home turf. So bye bye. read more
